Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Hornbeak Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hornbeak, a small community with a city population of 1,510, sits within a growing West Tennessee region whose metro area serves 2.6+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 1.80% annually and a temperate climate (hardiness zone 8b), homeowners in Hornbeak are increasingly taking on outdoor projects—driveways, patio bases, French drains, and erosion-control work—that need reliable aggregates. The area averages 228 sunny days per year and receives 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, so materials must balance drainage and stability. That combination of sun and periodic heavy rain drives demand for well-draining, durable gravel that resists rutting, sheds surface water, and provides a stable base for pavers and roadways. Local buyers also want clear guidance on quantities, stone gradation, and delivery logistics to avoid costly overorders or site delays.Popular Projects in Hornbeak This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hornbeak gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Hornbeak.
Prices vary by material, distance, and supplier, but in West Tennessee you can generally expect delivered gravel to fall roughly in the range of $30 to $70 per ton. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and provides local quotes that include delivery—use our site or call to get an exact, zip-code specific price for Hornbeak.
A good rule of thumb is 1 ton of crushed gravel covers about 80 to 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth, depending on stone size and compaction. For Hornbeak's typical rural driveways and yard projects, plan on the lower end if you need heavier coverage or tighter compaction.
Cost depends on driveway width, depth and material. For example, a 200 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches deep needs about 18 to 20 cubic yards (roughly 24 to 27 tons); at $35 to $60 per ton delivered, material cost would be about $840 to $1,620, plus any spreading or base work. Contact Hello Gravel for a precise quote and we can factor in local haul costs and any optional spreading service.
For Hornbeak's clay soils and rural roads, a stable base mix is important: start with a compactable base (bank-run or crusher run) then top with 3/4" crushed stone or #57 or #67 stone for good drainage and traction. If you want a finished look, pea gravel or decorative crushed stone can be used as the top layer, but keep a compactable base underneath to avoid rutting.
Yes. Hornbeak has hot, humid summers and occasional heavy rains, so choose gravel that drains well and use proper slope and grading to prevent washout. In winter freeze-thaw cycles may cause some movement; a well-compacted base and good drainage reduce maintenance in local weather conditions.
Yes—Hello Gravel serves Hornbeak through our network of local suppliers and haulers. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and the company has a 3-ton minimum; deliveries come by dump truck and tailgate spreading is possible at the driver's discretion.
Multiply length x width x desired depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.35 to estimate tons for crushed stone. For example: a 20 ft x 10 ft area at 3 inches (0.25 ft) is 20 x 10 x 0.25 / 27 = 1.85 cubic yards, about 2.5 tons. Use Hello Gravel's online calculator or contact our team for help with exact amounts based on local material density.
Materials in Hornbeak are regionally sourced, so many suppliers and haulers operate out of nearby towns like Tiptonville, Dyersburg, and Union City. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers in that area and provides delivery scheduling and transparent pricing so you get local material that reflects West Tennessee geology.
Most private driveways in rural Hornbeak will not need a permit, but rules vary depending on road access, culvert changes, or proximity to county or state roads. Check with Hornbeak city hall or Obion County public works before starting work, and tell Hello Gravel if a driveway culvert or town permit might affect delivery or placement.
Clear the drop zone of cars, pets and obstacles and mark the preferred dump spot before delivery day; provide a phone number so the driver can contact you on arrival. If you need spreading, request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and access on site—no spreading guarantees are provided.
You can generally drive on freshly placed gravel the same day after compacting with a plate compactor or by driving over it slowly to seat the stones. For best long-term performance, compact and add additional topcourse stones after initial settling, especially for driveways that will see regular vehicle traffic.
Expect periodic upkeep: regrading after heavy rains, topping up low spots, and adding fresh material every few years depending on traffic and drainage. Proper initial installation—good base, compaction, and drainage—minimizes maintenance for Hornbeak's climate and rural road conditions.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
